  Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Shoe on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Before shoe replacement the technician must release the park brake if engaged and raise the vehicle and detach the wheel and tire. The break caliper along with the mounting bracket should stay united while being moved to the side and securely positioned. In the next step take off the brake caliper alongside bracket while the brake rotor also needs removal. The park Brake Shoe can be detached from its position by sliding it downward to release its hold from the hold down spring following which the shoe can be lifted away from the backing plate to slide off the actuation mechanism . Clean all park brake components over the axle flange using a clean towel after removing the shoe. Adjust the adjustment screw to the notched position of the adjustment nut until it reaches full stoke and then loosen it by one-quarter turn making sure the opposing slots on both components match their position with the backing plate face. The rear backing plate requires cleaning with denatured alcohol before using filtered non-lubricated air to dry it. A new Brake Shoe should be placed over the axle flange before you position it on the actuation mechanism for installation. Begin by positioning the shoe lower end far from the backing plate and guide it down over the hold down spring top before setting the lower edge against the backing plate. Then push the shoe upward beneath the clamp. Examine the shoe assembly placement to verify its center position on the backing plate while both tips remain in the slots of the actuation mechanism . Check the park brake operation manually by using the park brake actuator lever to move the actuation mechanism. The park brake lever should receive its cable for reinstallation before the adjustment of the park Brake Shoe and the installation of brake components including the rotor and caliper and mounting bracket. The last step involves installing the wheel and tire following vehicle floor lowering.
